[UaVS] The Silver Door IC

Reaching up, Enraela brushed a stray lock of silver hair from her amthyst eyes, replacing it back into the neat pile on her head. "Arngen, take your hound and scout ahead for the source of the noise. We shall stay a reasonable distance behind you."

"Should you find something of interest," The last of her words came out deeper, huskier with an increased breathier accent. "Come back to me, Arngen, and tell me everything."

Arngen nods at the Priestess.
"Your decision is my will. As always..."

But instead of going straight at the web, he turns to the wizard.
"You said the trap is 'ingenious'. What triggers it? If it can be bypassed just by cutting a hole, what use is it of?"
 

Shaking his head slowly and waving his hands back and forth in front of him, Wesellu seems to be chuckling to himself.

"No, no. Not a trap. A defense. If you pass through the web and look behind you, all you will see is the side of hill. The Denaque is here to keep people out, not to keep them in. The theory involved in its construction is quite complicated, and I would gladly discuss it when we are not quite so pressed for time, and, of course, if it wasn't a Guild Secret.

I assure you that you should remain quite healthy upon passing through the web. Just be sure to keep a close eye on where you emerge, or else you may not be able to tell wall from web on your journey back."
 

"Hrmph..."
Arngen goes over to the webbing and cuts a hole big enough for him and the bugbear to fit through. On the other side, he takes a long look at the part where the webbing-wall is.
When sure he will remember, he'll start sneaking towards the sounds of battle.
 

Vitrene walks sullenly in the rear of the group, silently cursing his bad luck. This was not where he wanted to be, not at all. And nevertheless, there was nothing he could do about it for now, not with that monstrosity guarding him like an overprotective mother. Chuckling quietly at that peculiar thought and the unavoidable comparison to his own mother he feels suddenly more confident; surviving a childhood like his should surely make him able to overcome this little debacle and turn it to his advantage. There would be plenty of opportunities in the days ahead, yes.

ooc: Finally! :rolleyes: ;)

Slitting the Webbing and stepping through, once they have ascertained that nothing dangerous awaited outside, Arngem and Grolvus move ito the lee of a huge Mushroom,at least twenty foot tall.
The Lerondyl Forest had many such, Fungi and Musroons, Lichen and Molds. The smallest were no more than your foot, the tallest stretched more than twice the height of the City Walls of Thelaru 'acli. Looking back after entering the Forest, Arnglen and Grolvus are suprised to see that almost immediately the web seems to mend itself, the little Spiders seen weaving at a phenominal rate. Within a minute, the etar was sealed, and the whole looked like nothing more than a Hillside, surrounded by Mushrooms.
The sound of Combat rang in the distance,punctualted by a loud Boom, then screaming and a muss lessened ringing of blades.The sounds were much closer than they had at first sounded, perhaps a mrer 200 yards, the sound had obviously been made more distant by the Web-Screen.
A flock of winged lizards flew by,chasing some insects, their violet skin a stark contrast to the
pale grew of the Mushroom Cap's underside.
The forest awaited...

OoC:Anyone else want to go with Grolvus and Arngen? Pretty much all of the characters are pretty darned stealthy, though not as silent or unseen as them.
 

Grolvus grabbed a handful of small mushrooms from the forest floor, turning back to scatter them across the base of the hidden tunnel entrance. Satisfied that would suffice for now, the bugbear returned to Arngen's side for a moment, tapping him silently. You go that way, I go this way. If something happens... Grolvus shrugged. Whistle.

That 'said,' the hulking goblinoid slinked off into the forest, fanning off to the right...
 


IC:"Stay close Vitrene, I don't want to see you come to harm. Let the two forge ahead and clear the way you are much to 'valuble' to be lost to a mere skirmish." he moves slowly through the webbing cutting with his sword, scanning ahead looking and listening for the battle.

OOC:he waits for a moment them moves through scanning ahead <spot check> looking for signs of battle. IF all is clear he issues for Enralea, her sister, and vitrene to move through the webbing.
 

A silver brow arched mockingly toward Vitrene. "Indeed, dear brother, listen to the creature. He certainly seems to have more power than you do."

Her fingers traced the web, admiring its beauty and letting the spiders crawl over her hands in welcome. How lovely was this? Taking out the dagger she had retrieved earlier, the drow woman sliced a generous gap in the webbing, enough so that she could step through.

"Don't stray too far from your babysitter, dear brother." With a soft teasing laugh, she turned her silver head toward the opening and stepped through to the other side.
